Consider protections to prevent “pattern downvoting,” that is, a single forum user downvoting every one of another user’s comments and articles, particularly in articles and comments that have received few views.
Usually it’s not the case that every comment made by a single person contains zero value and is detrimental to online discourse. However, some people seem to have a tendency to want to do so. Rather than allowing one person to suppress the views of another’s right after publication, it would be better for other users to vote to ensure the content is being correctly suppressed.
